Goutham Vocational Junior College

Our college is located at Door No. 9/373 in Upadhyaya Nagar. This is a small area within Venkatagiri Town in Nellore. We focus on teaching vocational courses to the students who come here. Since it is a junior college, most of the students are teenagers looking for a trade. The building is tucked away on a side street and isn't very large. We have different rooms set up for the various subjects we teach. Some of the rooms have old sewing machines for tailoring, while others have workbenches and tools for learning electrical repairs. It is the kind of place where you learn by doing things with your hands. The students wear uniforms that often look a bit worn out by the end of the week. We have a small open area in the middle where they sit during their breaks. It gets quite loud when everyone is out there talking at once. The teachers are mostly people from this town who know their jobs well. We do not have much technology or computers, just the basic equipment needed for the trades. The main office is very small and stays crowded with old ledgers and stacks of paper. We still do almost everything by hand. It is a quiet town, and we are just a small part of the life here. We see students graduate and move away to find jobs in the cities.
